Ruff Draft will also release music by young new artists. Here's what Ma Dukes told AllHipHop.com: "We want to make it more feasible to interact with these children; we don’t know how many J. Dilla’s we have out there. Somebody has to find them.”

The label is throwing a launch party on May 25 at the Magic Stick in Detroit, which will feature a Rebirth of Detroit listening party and performances by several Detroit artists.
